The sheer brightness of colours in this French Marigold series opens up a whole range of colour theming opportunities in pots and borders. 'Bonanza' is a series of large anemone-flowered Marigolds, each flower to 5cm across, and is renowned for its easy natural branching habit, filling up space well. Plant about 20cm apart for a carpet of colour. Hot oranges, reds, and deep golden yellows and many with a mix of several shades in between - you can get hot, hot, hot with your plantings this year. They thrive in full, hot sun, but tolerate our rainy periods too. Supplied as 40 Pro Plug Plants, ready to grow on before planting out.
The colouring of this weigela is certainly unusual, with rich dark green foliage that takes on hints of deep purple as the summer progresses, it's a delightfully compact, low growing, spreading flowering shrub that will bring you months of colour with the most beautiful leaves and flowers. The foliage forms a wonderfully contrasting backdrop for the red-throated, white trumpet shaped flowers that covers the stems in early summer, great for livening up the front of the border and will also do well in pots. Recommended by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators' the flowers a favourite with butterflies and bees. Fully winter hardy, really easy to grow and always giving good results so makes the perfect plant for new gardeners or those who prefer to spend less time maintaining and more time enjoying. Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for immediate planting.
A truly unique and productive plant, this bonsai grape will produce bunches of red grapes year after year in virtually no space at all! These grapes originate in Sicily, where the old plants were dug up from the commercial fields and potted up - so they feature marvellous thick stems already and have a history of productivity! Naturally, grape vines are vigorous climbers but when trained into a bonsai form, the Vitis vinifera makes a much more compact shrub with a thick, heavily patterned trunk, with bunches of grapes hanging in decorative clusters. Grape vines are easy to care for and grow, needing just regular watering and feeding and a sunny position. Best grown outside spring to autumn, before being moved into a cooler room over the winter. Plants are self-fertile, and the grapes are ready to be picked when ripe in late summer to early autumn - the grapes are not affected in any way by the size of the tree. To maintain its shape, the grape bonsai should be pruned in early winter with a sharp pair of snips. Supplied as an established red grape plant in a 15cm pot, plants will grow as tall as you let them, but we recommend keeping them to a maximum 1.4m. Cut back annually to the woody stem to keep your Bonsai at 1m max to allow for new growth the following year.

A simply stunning Patio Peach tree, 'Crimson (R) Bonfire' has been selected for it's unique and delightful burgundy purple foliage and red coloured peach fruits, all on a genetically dwarf tree too.. Imagine relaxing on your patio in early Summer - the last of the heavenly sweet scent of Mediterranean peach blossom filling the air. Then in late August, reaching out and plucking one of your very own delicious, juicy ripe peaches! This stunning compact peach tree is so easy to grow, perfect in a pot and because it flowers later than many varieties it fruits much more successfully too.

Combined with the golden orange and crimson peaches it makes a particularly exotic and decorative addition to any patio.
